3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Gentle nose with notes of chocolate and some vineous raisin qualities. Pours a muddy medium brown with some spotting in the head from the sediment. The flavour is rich and pleasantly syrupy with some fig, some treacle and some muscovado sugar. A little bitterness remains to cut through the treacley goodness and the end result is balanced albeit a dessert rather than a session beer. Lovely.
